    Have you tried to input a word in the Firefox? It’s like “I’m feeling lucky” of Google, go to the first searched page directly. I found that last week, maybe that’s the new function of FF1.5?

    Mozilla gets paid everytime they redirect you through google. They also get paid everytime you use the google search bar on the top-right corner.

    It might be because the url bar might not use cookies and country redirection (a webservice maybe?) contrary to the google webpage. uk and us google don’t give the same results most of the time.
